IN most circumstances you will not come under the H1 annual quota. You can also begin to work once the application for H1 transfer is filed and you have the original receipt notice from USCIS.
The one case where you cannot do so is if your current employer is H1 quota exempt ( a university for example) and your new employer is not.
